penders : 19/12/01 10:07 AM : Incident created -   Hi I've just installed 8.1 on my Clevo 2700c laptop and most things work fine but I can't get the soundcard to work. It's a SiS PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 02) 16bit full duplex - 3D Sound - Soundblaster Pro compatible. Harddrake identifies it as Vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Model: SiS PCI Audio Accelerator Kernel Module: snd-card-trident Bus Type: PCI But no sound comes out at all, not even during the test in the harddrake config tool. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated (I already checked www.linux-laptops.net with no luck)! Thanks, Dean

penders : 19/12/01 02:54 PM : More info provided -   Checked mixer but no slider...then checked Aumix and put all sliders up then ran sndconfig... reported chip as SiS 7018 ... reported it as 'not supported yet' ... Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help, Dean
